Abstract
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign condition with an unknown pathology and unclear etiology. Patients with this condition typically presented with multiple, irregular, hard, painless nodules. Treatment of this condition involves single-stage excision.
There are only 85 publications on this condition. Because of its rarity, we report here with the case of a 42-year-old male who presenting with multiple, irregular, hard, painless nodules over the scrotum for three years. The diagnosis was based on clinical examination. Single-stage excision of the nodules was performed with scrotoplasty and confirmed by histopathology. Excision and scrotoplasty gives an excellent cosmetic results and enhancement of sexual quality of life. There was no recurrence reported for 6 months follow-up.
